China has recently put forth an ambitious plan to achieve carbon peak around 2030 and neutrality 2060. However, there are quite a few differences regarding the public views about China’s policy between Chinese people from other countries, especially concerning doubt of foreign fidelity goals. Based on Twitter data related topics 2008 2020, this study shows inter- intra-annual trends in count tw...

Behavioural interventions for paediatric obesity are promising, but detailed information on treatment fidelity (i.e. design, training, delivery, receipt and enactment) is needed to optimize the implementation of more effective interventions. Little is known about current practices for reporting treatment fidelity in paediatric obesity studies. This systematic review, in accordance with Preferre...

Engineering problems often involve data sources of variable fidelity with different costs of obtaining an observation. In particular, one can use both a cheap low fidelity function (e.g. a computational experiment with a CFD code) and an expensive high fidelity function (e.g. a wind tunnel experiment) to generate a data sample in order to construct a regression model of a high fidelity function...

BACKGROUND Airway management and endotracheal intubation are essential skills for pediatric residents. Simulation-based technology is used for training residents but it remains unclear whether high fidelity simulation results in better retention of skills compared to low fidelity. The study assesses high fidelity simulation of endotracheal intubation and traditional low fidelity training in imp...

BACKGROUND: Fidelity scales are used to monitor adherence to evidence-based practices. The underlying assumption is that high fidelity predicts better outcomes. The IPS-25 is a fidelity scale measuring adherence to the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model. A previous study found a significant association between the IPS-25 and competitive employment outcome. The current study sought to ...

An Image AdaptiveWatermarking method based on the Discrete Wavelet Transform is presented in this paper. The robustness and fidelity of the proposed method are evaluated and the method is compared to state-of-the-art watermarking techniques available in the literature. For the evaluation of watermark transparency, an image fidelity factor based on a perceptual distortion metric is introduced. O...
